          Abstract

          El presente trabajo analiza las respuestas demográficas de los grandes hacendados esclavistas de Rio de Janeiro, a las presiones británicas por el fin de la trata de esclavos en el Atlántico. Estudia con especial énfasis las décadas de 1810 y 1820, aunque tangencialmente revisa un período más largo. Se cuestiona la idea, ampliamente diseminada en la historiografía brasileña sobre la esclavitud, de que la trata interna de esclavos era suficiente para atender a las demandas de la plantation esclavista en crecimiento y, por consiguiente, que crecimiento natural positivo de la población esclava y esclavitud eran variables incompatibles en el Brasil colonial e imperial.

          O presente trabalho trata das respostas demográficas dos grandes fazendeiros escravistas do Rio de Janeiro às pressões britânicas pelo fim do tráfico atlântico de escravos, com ênfase para as décadas de 1810 e de 1820, embora tangencie período maior. Nele questiona-se a ideia, amplamente disseminada na historiografia brasileira sobre a escravidão, de que o tráfico interno de escrava bastava para atender às demandas da plantation escravista em crescimento e, por conseguinte, que crescimento natural positivo da população escrava e escravidão eram variáveis incompatíveis no Brasil colonial e imperial.

          Translated abstract

          This paper analyzes the demographic responses of the large slaver land holders of Rio de Janeiro, to the British pressure to end slavery in the Atlantic Ocean. It places special emphasis on the decades of 1810 and 1820, although it covers a longer period in lesser detail. The article questions the idea, widely disseminated in Brazilian historiography, that the internal slave trade in Brazil was enough to respond to the demands of growing slaver plantations and, therefore, that the natural positive growth of the slave population and of slavery were incompatible variables in colonial and imperial Brazil.
